Insomnia Therapist London

Insomnia is a disorder whereby a person has difficulty sleeping, either by initially falling asleep, or remaining asleep for long enough to feel refreshed.

Insomnia may be caused by a number of different reasons for example stress or anxiety. Most people have short lived Insomnia at some point in their lives, however, where Insomnia becomes a persistent problem this can negatively impact a person's quality of life and more seriously lead to further health issues.

Symptoms of Insomnia typically include the following:

Difficulty falling asleep

Waking up numerous times during the night

Difficulty napping during the day despite feeling tired

Feeling irritated, anxious or depressed

Nervous or worried about sleeping

Feeling unrested after a nights sleep

Waking up earlier than expected

Feeling tired throughout the day

Showing a lack of attention to detail or lack of concentration

At AG Confidential Therapy we aim to primarily identify the cause of the onset of Insomnia. By administering CBT, we alter the thoughts that may surround your views of sleep or subconsciously cause you to be restless. Once your thoughts begin to change this will ultimately lead to a change in your behaviour. We will also consider Hypnotherapy as an alternative treatment which will relax you whilst you are prompted with suggestions that can help you overcome the possible cause of your Insomnia. A combination of both treatments will help you achieve the best results.
